Hi, We are adding support for new ppc64le (IBM powerPC Little Endian) architecture as part of which we are looking at all the packages that need update. I was looking at “poppler” (from repo git://git.freedesktop.org/git/poppler/poppler and poppler-0.25 as well) and was failed to build “poppler” on ppc64le machine because of outdated libtool. We have worked with libtool maintainer to get alpha source release that has all the needed bits to support building on ppc64le. A stable release is expected soon. You can pick up the libtool alpha source release from either of the below : ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.gz (1.6MB) ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.xz (920KB) Would it be possible for you to spin up a newer version of "poppler" which would support ppc64le? by using alpha libtool release? I can help to validate the new release of the "poppler" works well by compiling on ppc64le machine. Appreciate your response. Thanks, Chandan
what does exactly "Would it be possible for you to spin up a newer version of "poppler" which would support ppc64le? by using alpha libtool release?" mean? Cheers, Albert

We are looking at being able to point the pkg tarball to the distro such that the pkg build in the distro build( that will obvious Little Endian version of Power Linux) without further issues. The package poppler is using the libtool that help to generate the shared library. The current stable version of libtool does not have a support of ppc64le so that is why it failed to build the shared lib on ppc64le Machines. By asking you to "spin up a newer version of poppler which would support ppc64le? by using alpha libtool" we mean that , if it is possible for you to update your libtool to alpha libtool source available on the below link. ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.gz (1.6MB) ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.xz (920KB) and release a new version of poppler. Let me know if you still have any doubts. Chandan
Sorry, but I'm not going to release a tarball that uses an unreleases libtool. Feel free to reopen this bug once the new libtool is officially released.
